While that's a problem the completely dead US anti monopoly regulations are one that is just as bad. A reminder that Bell labs invented magnetic storage in the 20s and buried it because they thought people wouldn't talk on the pho

Turns out the only reason why early open source communities were viable is because they had high barriers to entry that were meritocratic. Simply put, we need more barriers at the creation of a group. Openness should be only for people who

There are replies in this thread that are saying Clinton II lost because of the emails being leaked.

And here we are. Four years later, a victory and still knee deep in conspiracy land why the loss was a fluke caused by evil doers against the righteous and noble Hilary.

There are two things that people who do not want Trump to have ever been a president mix up and pretend are equivalent. One is the fact that every country interferes with the elections of every other country. The other is that the fsb was s

Not my president people are everybit as unhinged as qanon people. They unironically said Trump was a kgb asset who Putin was controlling. Again, if we found out that some Democrat staffer had stuffed a ballot for their guy it wouldn't

Not much different to the democrats after the last election and Russia. Turns out everyone reaches for conspiracies when they would rather not change their world view.

To answer anyone looking at this now: the Rayleigh scattering needs to produce diffuse light [0]. Which actually makes the project easier to pull off since you just need to place secondary lights all around the roof and walls of the room th

If you use a parabolic reflector and can prescatter the light it's as easy as adding another light source.

No, you would need to pick better diodes, and wider variety of them. 3 greens and two violets + phosphorus at least.

It's not really good enough: https://www.oscars.org/science-technology/sci-tech-projects/... Mixing violets and greens makes the spectral curve closer to that of sunlight. Again, without seeing it in person t

The main issue is the blue scattering. If you can get away with pre-scattering the light before it hits the dish adding an IR lamp is no issue since you're using a parabolic mirror which has no diffraction. I have no idea if it 'f

Yes, the 4 horseman of the infopocalypse. To put it bluntly, if your system can't protect criminals it can't protect regular users either. Heaven forbid we expect the police to actually do their job without having to spy on all of

Which is why you don't use js. Freenet is more than enough to distribute source code with a mailing list and signed files using plain text.

Block chain, bit torrent, freenet. There are plenty of alternatives that don't require centralization, they are just unpolished because there is no money in them. Again, github only exists because for some reason my generation of devel

No, js is fundamentally a technology with an anti-competitive ethos enforced by the fact you need an army of engineers employed full time to keep even a trivial site up and running, and on top of that it has surveillance built into it'

A newsgroup works. Its just that no one under 30 seems to realize that you don't need js to have a web application.

The point isn't reading, the point is writing. Inserting a single character into a string is an O(n) operation. Inserting one in a rope is basically O(log(n)), same for deletion.

A cow is less harmed by being fucked than by being eaten, yet a majority of people would lynch you if they could for doing the former while complaining they are being oppressed for being reminded cows are alive before the latter happens.
